🧠 What it means

👉 I overdid it 👉 I got a bit carried away Yep, this one’s basically what you say when you accidentally overdo something. Think adding too much chili to the pot, being a bit too harsh, or going a little overboard with the tequila. 🥴 It’s often followed by con + whatever you went overboard with or con + a person you treated badly.

🌪️ When to whip it out

When you’re admitting you overdid something!
